WY JOSEPHUS DANIELS, " ’"-u Secretary of the Navy. ARTICLE 20. “ Gne of the liveliest days of the whole war for the Navy Department was Mon- . June 3, 1918. It will be many a Year before I forget it. Sunday a U-boat had suddenly bobbed up about forty or fifty miles off the New Jersey coast and sunk four schooners. That was hard hitting for a war hypothetically 3000 miles away. T cartainly stirred things up in our corner of Washington. When 1 received the newspaper correspondents that Mon- day morning I faced a fire of questions 22°Tapid 28 that of any machine gun in "What is the Navy doing to protect our shipping?” “Why did lt let the submarine sink those vessels’ “‘Have you mlnk the U-boat?"” “Won't you recall our destroyers from Europe?” s Gets 5,000 Calls. While I did my best with the eager, inquisitive and persistent gentlemen of the press, telegrams were pouring into the department by the hundred, and the telephones were ringing without c - In twenty-four hours 5,000 tele- .grams, radio me , phone calls and other inquiries were handled by the Navy. The halls and offices of the de partment were thronged with anxious people, shippers and ship owners, and friends and relatives of captains and crews. And everybody wanted informa- tion. There was general alarm along the goast, from Cape Cod to Cape Sable. 3t one U-boat was over here, two might be, or three, or four. There was no saying where the enemy would strike next. Such was the feeling, and, of conrse, we heard from it. The last of the four questions which T have given as coming from the newspaper correspondents came from all over the country, but espe- ¢ cially frnm the coast: 1 our destroyers $rom Europe?” ANXIOUS DAYS WHEN U-BOATS -APPEARED OFF THE U.

However that may be, when the Deutschland returned as the U-155 she came armed with powerful guns and carrying torpedoes. Space will not permit the detailed narrative of the exploits of this sex- tet of U-boats. I will limit myself to one or two of the more striking inciden connected with each of them. of their arrival. Big Killing June 2. The TU-151 was playing about not far from our coast for some days be- fore she disclosed her presence. Rt port had come to us that steamers had been gunned at sea, and that an unfriendly periscope was headed in our direction. Prompted by these, We sent broadoast a special warning May 16. May 19 the Nyanza was gunned 300 miles from our coast. ‘When the U-151 made her big killing June 2 she had on board the crews of three small schooners she had sunk some days before. Though she sank a number of vessels, her visit was brief. She began her homeward Journey June 13, and reached her German port August 1. The shelling of the Perth Amboy, a tug, and three barges within sight of Cape Cod, Mass., was the work of the -156, which lelt Germany about the time the U-151 was starting home. She began work in American waters in July. Her exploit in shelling a tug Nor was it always phrased so po-|and barges aroused general indigna- litely or as diffid. as this. Some- times it passed from the interroga- tive to the imperative and became an emphat demand No Recall of Destroyers. Obviously it was quite impossible for the avy Department to satisfy all these inquiries or to answer the very pointed questions of the news- apermen. We could not tell the pub- ic what we were doing. what ships were being sent out and where. We might just as well have cabled the nformation to Germany. Most of our destroyers and other patrol craft were in European waters, but we had no idea of recalling them. In the first place. to cover every point where submarines might appear. to patrol adequately the waters of our long coast line and to convoy all coastwise shipping—which what excited individuals were insisting we #hould do—would have taken not less than a thousand vesse In the second place. nothing would have suited Germany’'s purpose better than to scare us into withdrawing our forces from the European hunting grounds and perhaps abandoning our mine barrage across the North sea. We were doing everything possible, but we realized that we would have to accept the likelihood of some small craft being sunk—possibly a few steamers: but that at all costs we Jmust keep the line of communication ‘clear by which troops and supplies were carried to the fighting front. Must Keep Road Open. Germany had sent her U-boats across the sea mainly for the purpose of interrupting the transportation of troops and supplies. Failing in this, their long and perilous adventure would be without military effect. “Our first duty.” I said to the news- paper men that morning, “is to keep open the road to France, to protect troopships and supply vessels. We are doing all we can to protect all ship- ping and commerce, but that must be our first thought.” And that policy was so well carried out that not one troopship or trans- port was delayed in sailing a single day, and the months in which enemy submarines were operating almost continuously off our coast were the very months in which we broke all records in troop transportation. Deutschland Comes Back. There were six U-boats which made nt NAOMT CHAPTE!

The U-boat's torpedoes missed their mark, but her shells set fire to the barges and they ultimately sank. The U-156 did a good deal of damage, but we had our revenge. On her way back to Germany she ran afoul of the North Sea mine barrage, com- posed almost wholly of American mines laid by American vessels, and was so badly damaged that she sank. Twenty-one of her survivors landed on the Norwegian coast; the fate of the rest is unknown. U-Boat Sinks Lizht The U-140 left Germany about a week later than the U-156, and work- ed in American waters in July and August. She chiefly distinguished herself by the wanton sinking of the Diamond Shoals lightship, off Cape Hatteras. Near the end of August, after a temporary disappearance, £he came up again away to the north. She sank the British steamer Diomed and next day attacked the Pleiades. The latter returned her fire and the U-140, damaged and leaking, quit the The U-117, a more recent ar- ri; went to her aid, and accom- panied her back to Kiel, where they arrived October 25. The Deutschland, or the U-155, ar- rived early in August. She made a fair record for damage done before she returned home. It was the Detitschland _which fought a duel with the U. S. 8. Frank H. Buck, in which the U-boat got the worst of it. The Buck reportéd that two of her shots took effect, and the Deutsch- land submerged. She was not in- jured enough to put her out of com- mission, however. A few days later we heard from her again sinking ships. But September 13 she ran into another chosen victim which declined to be victimized without an argu- ment. The British merchantman New- by Hall returned her fire, and a shell put her forward gun temporarily out of action. The U-155 made off. For a week she seems to have en- gaged in mine-laying off Halifax and the Nova Scotian coast. Then she got back in the fighting game and had a_battle with the American steamship Amphion, to which she did serious damage. After an hours duel, however, the Amphion was still afloat SPECIAL NOTICES. T wm mml-h and_install gas bot-water ( Heatcrs F.B.

Sinks the Unwinkable. On her way back to Germany she sank the Lucia, known as the “non- sinkable” ship, becalse she was fitted up with buoyancy boxes. This device did not keep her from sinking, but it kept her afloat twenty-two hours after she was torpedoed. The Deutschland reached home No- vember 15, four days after the armi- stice ended hostilities. The U-152 never came within close sange of our shore. She operated far out and in midocean, but she was after American ships. She fought a thrilling battle with the Ticonderoga. The Navy crew of the cargo transport fought for two hours, suffering seri- ous losses in life and casualties. Both ship's guns were disabled, and the ship herself finaily sank. Survivors of the crew had a terrible experience, escaping in open boats. Only twenty- four of 237 men aboard the Ticon- deroga were saved The U-152 was recalled October 20 by the German radio order, “All sub- marines return to Kiel.” That meant the great Tirpitz plot to torpedo civilization had failed.
